“The new Polish government has just brutally taken over and shut down public television. The opposition accuses him of large-scale violations of the rule of law. […] Poland is a good example of what can happen when a conservative country falls into the hands of politically correct left-wing liberals and needs to be adapted to the EU mainstream as quickly as possible – it is also a memento mori for Hungary,” writes the Belgian . philosopher prof. David Engels on the German website “Tichy’s Einblick”.
According to Engels, the fact that the current government’s assurance that it is a better alternative to the conservatives was “just a marketing gimmick” was already confirmed by the composition of the new government, “where all important socio-cultural positions were filled by members of left and even the radical left, which did not hide “its anti-Christian and pro-LGBTQ views.”
However, the culture war has reached its peak in recent days when, immediately after being sworn in, the government announced its intention to undermine the public media, especially the TVP broadcaster. This is the first closure of Polish television since the declaration of a state of emergency in the last phase of communism
– we are reading. According to Prof. Engels, the current government accused its predecessors of systematically employing staff sympathetic to the conservative PiS worldview over the past eight years and calls for a complete reform of the public broadcaster to once again guarantee the ‘neutrality’ of information .
Over the years in power, PiS has effectively failed to create a significant, independent, conservative information network, while almost all private media in Poland sympathize with the former opposition.
– he makes it clear. He adds: If, as a result of the firification of TVP and other public media, conservative journalists disappear from them, this will mean the end of diversity of views in the main Polish media.
Meanwhile, the (German newspaper editor) “Berliner Zeitung” sees Tusk’s authoritarian attitude as the only way to restore the rule of law in Poland.
– roars the professor. According to him, the German newspaper suggested that Prime Minister Tusk faces a dilemma: he can become a powerless ruler or restore democracy through undemocratic means.
This is a thinly veiled call to get things done quickly, while the West deliberately looks the other way
